Hello.

Updated to the latest linus-git tree, and pulled in the sound-2.6 tree.

The good news are that by following Wei's instructions (adding the device id in patch_nvhdmi.c), I managed to get audio through the hdmi. Goodie.

Could you give details?

The bad news are that mplayer misbehaves and will get stuck every time I try to change the volume. However, this does not happen in vlc. Any ideas?

Well, we need to sort out where the problem comes from. Try the vanilla Linus tree without sound-2.6 whether the problem persists.

thanks,

Takashi

Please elaborate?

I performed a git-clone on the repository. The head was b47d892509f2d908974781443d29b11dcd29d809.

Better to pull onto the latest Linus tree. That is, clone linux-2.6.git, then pull from sound-2.6.git.

ok, will do this.

When I played a movie in mplayer and touch the volume controls, mplayer got stuck. I can perform other tests. I'll also try to update the tree.

Which device are you using? HDMI or other? Also, please check whether this happens with Linus tree and 2.6.27.x, too.

Using the analog device, and it works under 2.6.27.1 flawlessly.

OK, then it must be a regression. If it works with Linus tree, the problem is the post 2.6.28 stuff. If it doesn't work with Linus tree, too, it's likely changes to patch_realtek.c...
